...Courier reporters, humorous suggestions of that nature are less significant than the fact that whites are paying attention to the paper. Former Dallas County Sheriff Jim Clark once cracked, "I don't see how one goddam Red newspaper can be so yellow." Later, he said that the Courier news columns had treated him fairly during his term of office...
Treat's Trick. It was not an easy place to keep chilled. Bounded on the east by the waste-grey waters of the Passaic River and shrouded by a chronic cloud of yellow industrial smog, Newark's black enclave is a grassless realm of rotting brick and crumbling concrete; no less than 32.6% of the city's housing, according to a 1962 study, is substandard. Newark was founded 301 years ago by a dissident Connecticut Puritan named Robert Treat, who, by current standards at least, tricked the Indians into selling him a site including most of what...
...recent typical night-hunter run for the 1st Infantry Division, the lead chopper spotted a small group of Viet Cong on a heavily wooded hillside in Binh Dinh province, halfway down the coast of South Viet Nam.

Alex Katz deftly pinpoints a life-size Lawn Party, in a realistically painted...
...specifying the use of modern dress in performance. The current Stratford production is as up-to-date as today's newspapers. It is framed by the on-stage playing of a rock 'n' roll combo, with a bunch of teenagers frugging away (including Antigone's sister Ismene, in a yellow and black miniskirt). The Greek chorus has been reduced to a single commentator by Anouilh (as Shakespeare had done with the Chorus in Henry V); but here he is, as cleanly and expertly played by Tom Aldredge, an ambulating master-of-ceremonies, hosting the activities with a hand-microphone that...
